It is a centerpiece of the largest inland naval museum in the country, and now the elements have pushed USS The Sullivans to the brink of sinking.
The 78-year-old Fletcher-Class destroyer is taking on water through several leaks and listing noticeably to its port side.
The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is using pumps to remove water from the ship. However, they are struggling to keep up, and more damage could occur, says park president and CEO Paul Marzello.

USN:
F6F-3 Hellcat of VF-1 being catapulted from the hangar deck catapult on the carrier Yorktown (Essex-class) off Trinidad, 3 Jun 1943.
USS Selfridge (DD-357) coming into Mare Island Navy Yard, for repairs as her bow was blown off just forward of her bridge in a heroic action at the Battle of Vella Lavella, October 6, 1943
Rear Admiral Matsuji Ijuin sailed from Rabaul with a force of six destroyers and two transport groups, the latter including three transport destroyers. About twenty small craft joined up from Buin on southern Bougainville. On October 6, this small armada—seemingly disproportionate to the task at hand—was discovered by American air search. Six American destroyers were in the area, and they moved to intercept, but they were divided into two divisions separated by about twenty miles. The northern group—Selfridge, Chevalier, and O’Bannon, under Captain Frank R. Walker—charged into action without waiting for Captain Harold O. Larson’s southern group (Ralph Talbot, Taylor, and La Vallette). Since the days of John Paul Jones, American naval lore had honored and applauded the bold attack on superior enemy forces. In this case, however, Walker’s daring proved rash. His three-destroyer squadron advanced on Ijuin’s nearest division of four destroyers and fired projectiles and torpedoes. Ijuin turned away and blew a smoke screen to cover his withdrawal, but one of his destroyers, Yugumo, continued toward the Americans and exchanged fire as she closed. She was lit up by at least five 5-inch shell hits and quickly exploded into flame. A few minutes later, Walker’s ships ran into a deadly spread of Long Lances. Chevalier and Selfridge each had their bows torn off, and O’Bannon was unable to avoid colliding with the injured Chevalier. Selfridge continued firing gamely on the second division of enemy ships, passing in column at a range of about 11,000 yards, but took a torpedo in her port side at 11:06 p.m. Chevalier was finished, while the heavily damaged O’Bannon and Selfridge managed to hobble back into Purvis Bay. As the Americans cleared the area, the Japanese small craft completed the evacuation of the troops at Marquana Bay. The Japanese had won a tactical and strategic victory in this “Battle of Vella Lavella.” It was to be their last sea victory of the war.

Germany:
Light cruiser Emden is carrying White Ensign as she depicts a damaged British cruiser on a filming location of the German submarine drama "Morgenrot" (1933). Bay of Kiel.
Bismarck, shortly after the Battle of Denmark Strait, 24 May 1941.
She has taken on about 1,000 tons of sea water forward, due to a shell hit from Prince of Wales, which resulted in her being down 3 degrees by the bow with a 9 degree list to port.

Italy:
Speed trials for scout Tigre, 1924
The Tigre (Tiger in Italian) was one of three Leone-class scouts commissioned (out of five planned); large and powerful ships at the time of their commissioning (albeit dated in their concept, their design having been drafted during WWI), they were obsolescent by WWII (and had been reclassified destroyers in 1938). Together with her two sisters, she was deployed to Massawa in the Red Sea upon the Italian declaration of war, and would be lost in that campaign.
Navigatori-class light scout Luca Tarigo (first of her class to be commissioned) under construction, Ansaldo shipyard, Genova Sestri Ponente, 4 December 1927
Soldati class destroyer Carabiniere in 1940
